The book opens with a scene featuring young June Stefanov, listening at her beloved grandfather’s knee as he tells her the story of his encounter with a mechanical soldier in World War II. Weaving together the past and present, this story actually works on two levels, alternating between the perspective of a young anthropologist in modern day Oregon and that of a mechanical avtomat resurrected by a Russian machinist the early 1700s. Well, I’m happy to report that it turned out great. Wilson’s previous novels and I was curious to see how the author would tackle something different. With its mix of steampunk and robotics and history and magic, it sounded like quite a departure from Daniel H. When I first heard about A Clockwork Dynasty, I confess I was intrigued.

This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher. Book Review: The Clockwork Dynasty by Daniel H. Wilson
